Australia and the insular imagination
beaches, borders, boats, and bodies /[electronic resource] :Suvendrini Perera. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - viii, 220 p. :ill. ;22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: Terra Australis infirma -- Girt by sea -- "All the water in the rough rude sea": insular dreamings -- Bodies, boats, borderscapes -- Torturous dialogues : bare life, dangerous geographies, and the politics of proximity -- The Gulliver effect : Australia in "the arc of insecurity" -- Our patch : racial horizons and the war on terror -- A pogrom on the beach -- Conclusion: Blood or water? "Fluid-state nationalism" and terra Australis infirma.
Most studies of Australia begin with the "the island-continent." Thesurrounding oceans are little more than a backdrop for the dramas thatoccur on dry land. This is the first book to turn its attention to theoceans and coastlines that make and remake the limits of Australia through events such as the arrival of asylum seekers' boats, the Indian Ocean tsunami, the Bali bombings and maritime peacekeeping missions in the Pacific. Against the imperatives of war, security, aid and disaster, various configurations of bodies, boats, borders and beaches testify tothe power and the limits of Australia's insular illusion.
